The steamy August weather failed to dampen the enthusiasm of more than 600 women (and a sprinkling of men) who poured into the Westin Galleria Hotel Saturday for the Woman's Hospital of Texas' third annual Labor Day Luncheon and style show benefiting the March of Dimes.

Woman's Hospital CEO Linda Russell and March of Dimes Guild president Laura Spalding, who headed the successful table-sales effort, were beaming over the unprecedented success. The sellout luncheon was three times larger than last year's, and with the hospital underwriting expenses, it was a summer windfall for the March of Dimes.
